Abstract: A testing unit is provided for mounting on a connector testing
device for testing a connector (C) which includes a plurality of metal
terminals (T) fastened to the connector by a lance system (C2). A probe
pin (22) for testing conductivity is held by a molded resin slider (21)
having a pair of electrodes (22). The slider is integrally formed with a
probe pin which holds a protrusion for testing, whether the fastening of
the lance is complete. Positioning a lance testing member of protrusion
relative to the lance can be achieved without providing a rotation-free
stopper of the probe pin. In addition, individual failure testing can be
achieved compared with the case which holds all of the probe pins.
Furthermore, damage to the lance resulting from the material selection
can also be avoided. Furthermore, a better connection between a probe
pin and a lead wire (25) is also provided when displacing probe pin of a
connector testing device relative to the position of a lead wire. This is
accomplished by providing a conductive member fixed to a block and
connecting a lead wire with the fixed conductive member. Furthermore,
the fixed conductive member and a probe pin are relatively and
displaceably connected in an electrically conductive manner. The probe
pin is retained in a relatively displaceable manner to the block by a slider.
Thus, even when the probe pin is displaced relative to the block area
during testing, a connecting position of the lead wire is not subjected to
displacement from the predetermined position.

Abstract: Context aware computing systems and methods are described. In one
described embodiment, devices and methods are provided that are context-aware
(in one example-location-aware) in that they provide for the application and
enforcement of various policies as a function of context. Specifically, various
computing devices, through the described methodologies and structures, are able
to automatically determine their context. Once context is determined, a collection
of policies can be evaluated to provide a resultant set of policies that apply to the
given context. The resultant set of policies are then enforced, typically via the
device's operating system. Policy enforcement can involve promulgating new
settings or state to applications that are executing on or off the device.
Advantageously, the devices and methodologies can adapt the resultant set of
policies as the device's context changes so that the policies can be dynamically
determined and enforced automatically as the device's context changes.

Abstract: A method for generating an image-dependent tone scale curve includes (a) computing an image activity histogram for an input image value as a function of the number of neighboring pixels that have a predetermined amount of image modulation exclusive of a predetermined noise modulation; and (b) constructing an image-dependent tone scale curve from the image activity histogram. The predetermined amount of image modulation may comprise any image value within two specified intervals each bounded by a noise threshold and a modulation threshold. In another aspect, a tone scale curve that optimizes the rendering of image activity is generated under one or more constraints. More particularly, one or more slope-limit constraints and/or point constraints are established and then a tone scale function is constructed by applying the slope-limit constraints in a tone scale derivative space. An image activity histogram is computed and applied to the tone scale slopefunction. Finally, the tone scale slope function is integrated to generate the tone scale curve.

Abstract: The invention relates to an image encoding/decoding
method, apparatus thereof and a recording medium in which a
program therefor is recorded, whereby the encoding/decoding can
be obtained with high image quality at high speed. In an image
encoding method which comprises producing a DC image composed
of each block mean value by dividing an image data per B pixel
into a block, making a part of said DC image a DC nest, and where
the differential vector <d j > which is obtained by separating
the DC value DC J  from the pixel block <R j > to be encoded is over
an allowable value Z, calculating one or more orthogonal basis
( α   k  <V k >), to which the differential vector is approximated,
by the adaptive orthogonal transform (AOT) using the DC nest,
each of the lowest n (n = log 2  B) bits of base extraction blocks
<U i > which are down-sampled from the DC nest is set to 0 . Further,
base extraction vectors <u i >are produced by separating a block
mean value a i  from the base extraction blocks <U i >.

Abstract: A method of measuring a similarity between images is provided. The method
includes the steps of (a) computing a statistical dissimilarity between the images; (b)
computing a perceptual dissimilarity between the images; and (c) computing a
dissimilarity between the texture features of the images based on the statistical
dissimilarity and the perceptual dissimilarity. When images perceptually similar to a
query image are searched and retrieved according to the above measuring method,
the possibility that the retrieved images are not perceptually similar to the query
image is small. Accordingly, the image searching performance can be improved
when searching images having texture features similar to that of a query image.

Abstract: A sensor in an engineering system (10) can be tested to detect, isolate and accommodate faults. Initially, a modeled sensor value (M) of each actual sensor value (S) is generated as a function of a plurality of other sensors. An absolute value of a difference between the actual sensor value (S) and the modeled sensor value (M) is then computed (14) and compared (16) to a predetermined threshold (T). A sensor fault is detected if the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold (T). Once a sensor fault is detected, it is isolated using hypothesis testing (22) and maximum wins strategies (26). After the fault is isolated (20), the fault is accommodated (22) by substituting the modeled sensor value (M) for the actual sensor value (S).

Abstract: Optical signals inputted to input ports (101a to 101f) are split in half by 1 × 2 optical splitters (102a to 102f) respectively and the resulting signals are inputted to the input terminals of an optical matrix switch (103). The optical matrix switch (103) switches between the routes of the individual optical signals and outputs the signal at any of the output ports (104a to 104f). This enables the optical signal from the same input port to be outputted at two different output ports, which makes it possible to effect "bridge" at the time of protection switching.
